【题目】Sleep Tips: Steps to Better Sleep

Think about all the factors that can influence a good night’s sleep from work stress and family responsibilities to unexpected challenges. 1 While you might not be able to control the factors that affect your sleep, you can adopt habits that encourage better sleep.

Stick to a sleep schedule.

The recommended amount of sleep for a healthy adult is at least seven hours. Most people don’t need more than eight hours in bed to achieve this goal. 2 Try to limit the difference in your sleep schedule on weeknights and weekends to no more than one hour. If you don’t fall asleep within about 20 minutes, leave your bedroom and do something relaxing. Go ahead to bed when you’re tired. Repeat as needed.

Pay attention to what you eat and drink.

Don’t go to bed hungry or full. In particular, avoid heavy or large meals within a couple of hours of bedtime. 3 Nicotine, coffee and alcohol deserve caution, too. The stimulating effects of nicotine and caffeine take hours to disappear. And even though alcohol might make you feel sleepy, it can interrupt sleep later in the night.

Create a restful environment.

Create a room that’s ideal for sleeping. Often, this means cool, dark and quiet. 4 Consider using room-darkening shades, earplugs, a fan or other devices to create an environment that suits your needs.

Limit daytime naps.

Long daytime naps can affect nighttime sleep. If you choose to nap, limit yourself to up to 30 minutes and avoid doing so late in the day. If you work nights, however, you might need to nap late in the day before work to help make up for sleep debt.

5

Regular physical activity can promote better sleep. Avoid being active too close to bedtime it raises your body temperature so that your sleep is disturbed. However, spending time outside every day might be helpful, too.

A.Your discomfort might keep you up.

B.It’s no wonder that quality sleep is sometimes difficult to get.

C.Sleeping with light on might make it more challenging to fall sleep.

D.Go to bed and get up at the same time every day.

E.Know how to manage worries.

F.Include physical activity in your daily routine.

G.Read or listen to relaxing music.

【题目】 Some people seem to have a skill for learning languages. They can pick up new vocabulary, master rules of grammar, and learn to write in the new language more quickly than others. 1 First of all, successful language learners are independent learners. They do not depend on the book or teacher. 2They try to find the patterns and rules by themselves. They are good guessers who look for clues and form their own conclusions. When they guess wrong, they guess again. They try to learn from their mistakes.

3Therefore, successful learners do not wait for a chance to use the language. They look for such a chance. They find people who speak the language and ask these people to correct them when they make a mistake. 4They are not afraid to repeat what they hear or to say strange things. They are willing to make mistakes and try again. When communication is difficult, they can accept information that is inexact or incomplete. It is more important for them to learn to think in the language than to know the meaning of every word.

5They want to learn the language because they are interested in the language and the people who speak it. It is necessary for them to learn the language in order to communicate with these people and to learn from them.

A. Successful language learning is active learning.

B. They will try their best to communicate with others.

C. They discover their own way to learn the language.

D. Here’s a study of the way children learn to speak.

E. What makes language learning so much easier for them?

F. They find it easy to practice using the language regularly.

G. Finally, successful language learners are learners with a purpose.

【题目】 According to a team of researchersan animal's ability to perceive(感知)time is linked to their pace of life.

“Our results lend support to the importance of time perception in animals where the ability to perceive time in a very short time may be the difference between life and death for fast moving creatures." commented lead author Kevin Healy from Trinity College Dublin.

The study was done with a variety of animals using phenomenon based on the maximum speed of flashes of light an individual can see before the light source is seen as constant. Dogsfor examplehave eyes with a refresh rate higher than humans.

One example of this phenomenon at workthe authors sayis the housefly and its ability to avoid being hit. The research showed flies “observe motion in a shorter time than our own eyes can achieve"which allows them to avoid being hit.

Professor Graeme Ruxton of the University of St Andrews in Scotlandwho worked jointly on the research projectsaid in a statement“Having eyes that send updates to the brain at much higher frequencies than our eyes do is of no value if the brain cannot process that information equally quickly. Thusthis work highlights the impressive abilities of even the smallest animal brains. Flies might not be deep thinkersbut they can make good decisions very quickly. ”

In comparisonthe tiger beetle(虎甲虫)runs faster than its eyes can keep upbasically becoming blindwhich requires it to stop periodically to re-evaluate its prey's(猎物)position.

Our results suggest that time perception offers an as yet unstudied dimension along which animals can specialize and there is considerable range to study this system in more detail.

1What is the research mentioned in the passage mainly about

A.Pace of life of animals.B.Impressive abilities of animals.

C.Lifetime of small animals.D.Time perception of animals.

2What does Kevin Healy's comment mean in Para.2

A.The survival of fast moving animals relies on their ability to perceive time.

B.Animals with quicker pace of life have better perception of time.

C.The ability of animals to perceive time depends on their high moving speed.

D.Animals with poor ability of time perception have a shorter life.

3Why can houseflies avoid being hit

A.They can think very deeply before they act.

B.They can process the information as quickly as they receive it.

C.They can fly much faster than their eyes can keep up.

D.They can send information to brain more quickly than to their eyes.

4What will a tiger beetle have to do to catch a moving prey

A.Slow down to gain its time perception.

B.Prevent itself from becoming blind.

C.Stop occasionally to spot the prey again.

D.Try to run as fast as it can.
